Pros

- A few skilled colleagues (mostly in the business teams) - Good food in the canteen - Free internet at home

Cons

- They are a windows (.NET) shop with an overly complex and unstable infrastructure. - IT project management often lacks the proper domain knowledge. - It is very easy to pass their interviews. Therefore they hired many mediocre software developers that often lack abstract problem solving skills and even common sense. - Middle management forces outperformers to 'revert to the mean' in order to hide their incompetence. - Aarhus is very expensive even though the city has not much to offer. - The taxes in Denmark are very high in order to achieve 'equality' among their citizens. They even tax your company phone since you might be better off than employees in other firms which don't have 'the luxury' of a company phone.

Pros

The parent company, Equinor, offers good benefits.

Cons

Only Danes are considered "normal" people; people of other nationalities are treated like slaves and are not provided with a fair competitive environment. Moreover, this company will use every possible tactic to withhold the bonuses you are entitled to. Therefore, if you're considering joining one of its overseas branches and you're not Danish, think carefully.
